Political Buzz: Reid's Politically Calculating Move

When Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, D-NV, stated recently, 'I don't work for Barack Obama,' many assumed this was a signal that the incoming President would not have a rubber-stamp from Congress in spite of the fact that his own Party runs the place.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

You can bet your last Smith & Wesson that no matter what Democrats say publicly, Obama is going to have fairly smooth sailing when it comes to this Congress. All if not most of his Cabinet nominees will be approved quickly. He will get most of what he asks for with little opposition.

Reid's statement was politically calculating, period, end. Nothing more to it.

The Senator is going to be in the fight of his political life in 2010 as he faces re-election at a time when Congress' approval rating is in the single-digits and when his own approval rating in Nevada is dismal.

Nevada also went for George W. Bush both in 2000 and in 2004, despite its falling into the Obama column in 2008.

Just as Americans threw a tantrum and threw out many Republicans, they can just as easily turn against Democrats and Obama. And Reid has already seen signs that his constituents in Nevada may be getting ready to ditch their Senator who has presided over the single most unpopular Senate in U.S. history.

Reid also knows that publicly distancing himself from Obama may be good strategy come 2010.

Whatcha Gonna Do NOW, Nan?

Under immense pressure from Leftist groups who support her, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) is being urged to begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush in order to 'stop the current economic crisis.'

Remind me to ask you later how impeaching Bush in his last 2 months of office will help the economy.

And don't look now, my dear Leftist friends, but if Bush is impeached, Dick Cheney becomes President, at least until January 20.

So, if you're thinking that impeaching Bush will put your dear Lord and Savior, the Obamessiah (known as 'The Chairman' on The Liberty Sphere), into office early, that only reveals your vast ignorance of the U.S. Constitution.

Nonetheless, Nan is being urged by some of her biggest supporters to do something that will happen anyway in just over 2 months--the end of Bush's 2 terms of office.

But this is not the only thing Nan will be facing with regard to Bush. 'The Chairman' and Senate Majority Leader 'Oil Can' Harry Reid are talking about launching a full investigation into the Bush administration, complete with endless hearings, billions of tax dollars spent, and lots of grandstanding on the part of The Chairman, Nan, Oil Can, and their surrogates in the Democrat Party.

I have a theory about that. As long as the Democrats can divert attention away from their real agenda by keeping Bush-bashing at the forefront of the news night after night, they can do their dirty work under cover as they systematically go about the task of taking complete control of the government and vastly increasing government power in our daily lives.

Thus, the endless investigations into the Bush administration will serve as a neat diversionary tactic. While we peons in the electorate watch as Bush, Cheney and company are vilified, The Chairman, Oil Can, and Nan can go about their covert operation to seize more control and undertake the most massive expansion of federal government power in the history of the Republic.

Sen. Harry Reid Says He 'Can't Stand' McCain

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV, claims he 'can't stand' John McCain. I understand. There are days when I can't either.

But McCain is nowhere near being in the came league with those who are beneath contempt, such as the illustrious Majority Leader.

It's too bad most people simply don't like you at all, isn't it, Harold?

A Wing-Ding with Cartwheels in Congress

Leave it to the perennial featherweight, the wisp himself, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, to keep the clown show going under the Democrats in Congress.

Reid stated this week that he would do absolutely anything, including cutting cartwheels down the aisles of the Senate floor, in order to call attention to the supposed 'Republican obstructionism.'

Apparently the chief clown in the Senate has his shorts in a bunch because he can't get all of his legislation passed. Despite clear majorities in both Houses of Congress, Democrats have not been able to pass all of the legislation they intended when they took over Congress earlier this year.

Heaven forbid that there be any serious debate, disagreement, and the healthy locking of horns when it comes to the important business of the country.

And let's not forget that both Reid in the Senate, and Fuhrer Pelosi in the House, have had plenty of opposition from their own Party.

It is much easier and expedient, however, to blame Republicans.

And thus, with a clown show there is always a big wing-ding. This one, of course, is not celebratory but one in which the dignity of the office of Senate Majority Leader is ripped to shreds by a clown who wants to do cartwheels down the aisles.

Many of us were sincerely hoping that Reid would make good on his promise. But alas, the Senator apparently backed out of the display at the last minute.

Wonder if he can even do cartwheels?
